A bike can be more than a way to get around. It can be a tool for independence, a way to explore your community, and a starting point for building confidence. Through this partnership, young adults will have the opportunity to connect cycling with the larger skills and experiences that help them navigate school, work, and life.

Together, we're removing barriers to participation and creating welcoming spaces where young people can learn, grow, and ride together. It's an investment in confidence, connection, and healthy lifestyles for Black youth while expanding access to cycling and the outdoors.

The Pedal Forward workforce development program is one way we are committing to our mission and living in our values by creating pathways into the cycling industry for community members who have been historically underrepresented in the workforce.
